Components of Google Sheets

Question

What are the components of Google Sheets?

Answer

Although Google Sheets is similar to Microsoft Excel, the tabs are reorganized. Both applications have the File, View, and Insert tabs, but the rest of the tabs are reorganized. 

Under the File Tab, you will find: New, Open, Import, Make a copy, Share, Email, Download, Rename, Move to trash, Version history, Make available offline, Details, Settings, and Print. You will primarily use this tab for downloading and printing your spreadsheet.

  • Under the Edit tab, you will find: Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Paste Special, Move, Delete, and Find and Replace.
  • Under the View tab, you will find: Show, Freeze, Group, Hidden Sheets, Zoom and Full Screen.
  • From the Insert tab, you can add rows and columns, a comment, function, chart, image, link, pivot table, and drawing.
  • From the Format tab, you can format the Number, Font, Align, Text Wrapping, Text Rotation, Conditional Formatting, Alternating Colors, and Clear Formatting.
  • The Data tab is where you sort and filter your data. 
  • Under the Tools tab, you will see: Create a form, Spelling, AutoComplete, Notification Rules, and  Accessibility. 
  • The Extensions tab is where you can add extra features.
  • The Help tab is where you can search for general information of a help topic.
